Tech in Ed Fall 2012 Lesson Planning collaboration tools apps

shared by Lauren Fontaine on 03 Oct 12 - Cached
  • Lauren Fontaine on 03 Oct 12
     
    A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

    Coolest think about Google for Educators? Lesson plan search!

    Google in Education is a great resource for students and teachers. It provides authentic opportunities for students, tutorials, and lesson ideas for teachers.
  • Amber Sandoval on 13 Nov 12
     
    This resource would be great to use in my future classroom! I really like how it has classroom tools for teachers and students. I think this would be a great tool for educators to use and refer to. This bookmark could be used both by teachers and/or students. However, I think that educators would gain most from it. Teachers then could transfer knowledge of tools and applications to students in classroom content lessons. From my experiences, "Discovery Education" is somewhat similar in regards to having many resources available for students, administrators, and educators.

    Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.

    Great resource for ideas and collaborating with other educators regarding the use of iPads in education through blogs, tips, discussions, and videos. Great job on your "QR Code Crime Scene" video you posted to the Ning!!! Excellent example of what is possible!! I joined the Ning and will share this with teachers using iPads in our school.

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that this resource could be used efficiently in my classroom. I have an iPad in my classroom and this website gives great ideas of apps to use. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe the resource is mostly for teacher use but allows teachers to find apps for student use. Teachers can find resources, download them, and then allow students to use them. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. Yes, I have also seen websites that provide lists of apps and have included them in my own library.
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is a great resource and one that totally is worth checking out! This is for sure a tool that can be used in the classroom. It is chalked full of great ideas and awesome tools to use in the classroom. This is mainly a tool for teacher use, but it could also be a resource for students looking for a different way to complete a project. There are many different uses of such an amazing ning like this! There are some great other Nings out there, Facebook pages, groups on LMS sites like Schoology, and other websites out there that are similar. This one is unique because of the Ning platform for sure!

    iPad technology is a new teaching tool will be used by teachers in classrooms. if will be very beneficial for both teachers and students 
  • Ashley Ulin on 13 Nov 12
     
    I thought this resource was great and thought provoking for the educator that has access to i pads in the classroom. Not only could educators use this source but parents as well. I also agree with Randon that it has student uses as well. I agree with Randon as well that many other resources and social media pages such as facebook and twitter are available, however the creation of this site gives a different navigational system to explore.
  • Jane Becker on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is a great resource for teachers and students in the classroom. The more resources that we have the greater the level of learning can be. Teachers and students will benefit for this resource. Thanks for sharing

    This is a great resource for teachers! I always have trouble knowing what videos are more "educational" than others and this would be a great way to ensure you have good videos to show! I never knew there was a specific channel for education. I love how you can browse according to the subjects. I watched some of the videos and they seems great!

  • Lauren Fontaine on 08 Oct 12
     
    VoiceThread can be used in a variety of ways, educationally. Clearly, use by those in post-secondary education (as done in Technology in Education) is a fun way to enhance online courses. K-12 teachers can also use VoiceThread to present ideas for their classrooms and dialogue with other teachers. Or, teachers could ask their students to participate in "flat classroom" projects, using VoiceThread to do presentations for and get feedback from other students across the globe. A dynamic, multi-use collaboration tool for anyone involved in education at any level.

    A blog about being a teacher in both the fields of special education and gifted and talented students. This blog discusses the many issues teachers in this field face.
  • Amy Christian on 13 Nov 12
     
    This was a very interesting blog. Although I rarely deal with special education or gifted and talented students on a regular basis, there is great information here that also carries over to regular classroom teaching. I enjoyed one blog on assessments especially. I always enjoy sharing other educator's perspectives on all things educational (or not). I could see anyone involved in education benefiting from this blog in one way or another.

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that I can use this resource in the future of my own classroom. This resource gives great ideas on how to use blogging effectively and ways to get students blogging in the classroom. I like how it is organized by regions of the United States. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe this blog is mostly for teacher use, but its use for teachers explains how teachers can allow students to get into blogging or gives resources to help with their classroom teaching. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. I'm sure there are other blogs that compile great blogging resources, but I have not come across such a compiled list.
  • kirstinthompson on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is an intriguing list and looks like the various blogs deserve time to be looked at more. It is always interesting (if not therapeutic) to read from others "in the trenches." Two that I enjoyed reading were "TeachBad" and "TeachPaperless." Some good comic relief was provided, as well as some interesting ideas! I'm wouldn't say this site is really useful for students, but then again, maybe they'd be nicer to us if they read stuff like this. ::smile::
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    This resource is an awesome compilation of great teacher blogs from around the country and world. It can totally be used as a resource for students as they begin to learn how to blog or for those aspiring to be on that list to reach a little higher! This resource is mainly one for teacher use, but all the ideas inside these blog links makes it readily apparent and available to be used in a current classroom. There are a number of similar lists out there (take a look and blog the title and a few come up) so this is not a one of a kind list; however, it is expansive and does provide a good list of HS teachers to follow and their regions. Cool idea for sure! How many of these are you going to follow now?
  • Amy Christian on 13 Nov 12
     
    Randon, I'm sure I'll end up following quite a few. Unfortunately I haven't had time to delve too deeply into the list. It is on my to do list though! :)
  • Jane Becker on 13 Nov 12
     
    Excellent source for teachers. I shared this with our English teacher who does things with blogs and wiki's in her classroom. She was very excited for new material to use. There are many different and unique topics in this site which she had never seen before.

  • But after seeing how easy the iPads are to use -- kids become their own experts by getting answers to their questions through YouTube videos or educational apps -- Pole changed her tune. Now she plans to get schooled on the iPad herself.

      "More fun" that sounds like the iPads are being used for educational purposes for sure!  They must be a tool that connects directly to the curriculum.  Either the student does not get this or the reporter failed to understand why they are using iPads.

      No surprise there with the designation, but really - most are purchasing these devices without the proper pieces in place. Sad that it has taken the ed world by storm, but there is no idea how to actually include this in instruction...read on!

    This is a great article looking over the iPad craze and the Flipped Education idea in Minnesota schools.  It still makes me wonder what we are trying to teach out students by using these devices - What is the educational goal?  This article also points out the need for an investment in teacher training as an essential part of a technology program.  Check out the sticky notes and highlighting for more information.

    This site is a great resource to help keep up on what is going on in education at all levels. I especially liked the recent article entitled, "5 Things Teachers Want Parents to Know". I really don't think this site is just for teachers but I think teachers will be the ones to use the site most. Teachers are very busy and don't always have time to read several news feeds to get our educational news, so its nice that its all right here.
